Every Valorant Agent Select Screen Ranked Updated

[@slayndash6077]

I gotta say, KAY/O's looks and essentially is the coolest, but man. When I saw Fade's for the first time I actually got chills down my spine. Character checks out I guess.

[@azathothds]

Whoever works on animation does a good job, there is a clear difference between Brimstone (one of the olderst) and Fade's (of the newest), Harbor kinda feels anew , but still lacking in comparison with Fade (mb cus he is a hooman and his artifact capabilities are limited dunno, so they chose to showcase that, if we compare with other artifact users, Astra does her thingy and Yoru goes all out with his abilities, I think my theory that if Harbor was a Water Radiant user, he might go wild in that lock screen)

[@NeoETM]

Imo it would be a tier if he started like on his motorbike with a spectre in his hand and his helmet like does an iron man thing yk and then he does this with his artifact that would be sick asf

[@slayndash6077]

I love Harbor, but yeah his greatest weak point is his select screen visuals. Would've loved to see a waterfall drop to reveal him, at the very least. Fade and Harbor are both human, and both have radiant abilities. Fade's are obviously much more intangible IRL than water (and therefore "cooler") but regardless, she has the much better select screen. I doubt that Harbor's would be updated unless they overhauled a lot of the outdated/lesser select screens.

[@najmaht.a.1314]

@@slayndash6077 Isn't Fade a radiant? Aka not human?

[@alleyway8627]

@@slayndash6077 im pretty sure harbor is completely human, hes not a radiant. he just gets his powers from the artifact no?

[@cinnamonroll5865]

Pretty sure Yoru is a radiant, but he just gets a power up from using the mask, allowing him to see into other dimensions and get in his ultimate, cuz he can flash tp and clone without it, not even gameplay wise but also in the lore

[@BigHugeWorm]

The older ones don't have a lot of flash and flair to them, and I agree that for some of them like Breach, they should. But understanding that the characters do so much more than the special effects is important. Brimstone's doesn't need to be cool. What is he gonna do, smoke himself off? Stimmy himself? Orbital strike somewhere behind him? His personality is straightforward and direct and it comes across that he's professional and not a showboat. Viper, although the effect of her coming out of the pit is cool, really what makes it awesome is the hand crawling towards the mask and the look of utter disgust and superiority on her face. Phoenix doesn't need to set everything alight in his intro, in fact, it's pretty apparent that despite having fire powers, he's not a hothead, and is cool as can be. Checkin himself out, centering the camera on himself, and then run it back teleports him to a good freezeframe pose. Yes, I won't disagree with the top tiers. Chamber, Fade, Astra, and Kay/O have great cinematic levels of shit, but if everyone had cinematic ones, the REALLY cool intros wouldn't seem as special.

[@starfucker44]

fr the old ones feel right tbh also i like how at the end of all the agent selects for the freeze frame they’re all consistently in the middle looking at the camera so when i see ppl asking for idk things like kicking the camera down and looking down at it or idk them like just in a completely fleshed out setting i.e a forest or something and then there would b all the other ones still in the same consistent background

[@cZk75137]

Phoenix? Not a hothead? Buddy, you need to reevaluate that phrase.

[@BigHugeWorm]

@@cZk75137 He's cocky no doubt. And his playstyle is aggressive and varied, but his personality is chill and swagger. He's got jokes, he's taking the whole thing as a game, one he knows he can win. You want a hothead, take someone like Breach or Reyna. Those two have temper issues. Phoenix doesn't have a temper like that, because he's not a hothead.

[@the_grass_trainer]

@@BigHugeWorm Flameo, hotman!

[@Luluroxz]

I am a fade main but my favorite part is when I select her for her little cut scene. Love the head tilt from nightmare to reality

[@roscoemason3320]

I really think they should update some of the select screens, especially the older ones like Sova, Sage, etc... I mean they aren't bad but they could definitely be cooler Edit: What if for Breach, he flashed from the boxes in the background then he runs at the screen and punches it as the blind wears off, knocking it over, then crouches, looking at it.

[@eh9948]

And then he says the hello voiceline

[@walsheee93]

What if for Sage, her wall appears on the screen (kinda like the start of chamber) and then breaks, revealing sage throwing her orb, showing off her skills with the orb in her original one, healing someone. its something lol

[@kctharich6836]

I like how we almost think alike. This is as good as my idea.

[@thalitagomes6772]

you guys got some great ideas, that'd be definitely cool af

[@delayedstwr]

the entire screen is orange as breach had used his ult. the crust of the earth shatters as a mysterious black figure with glowing orange eyes menacingly walks to the camera. and when the ultimate ends, breach just poses (idk)

[@sindriana]

Honestly my favourite is Fade's. She has the cool shift from her nightmares to reality and then pulls them out and charges them at people.

[@Teonukii]

I think it's by far the best one

[@halkras]

Freddy krueger; i like that arrogant B.

[@cookiechaos8842]

The things i love about fade is first she is from Turkey and even if you're client language is English or some other languahe she still speaks Turkish. The other one is fades eyes, they are inspired by Van cat. Van cat is a cat species in turkey and Fade is supposed to be a reference to the Cat species.

[@HAPPY-re9ji]

Put giga Chad music in k/o screen it just matches

[@kaushals3713]

Yeah man 🔥

[@seanstoltz6957]

A lot of the newer ones (astra, yoru, chamber, fade, etc.) seem to have more time and effort dedicated to them.

[@Hauke347]

ngl after I saw Fade's select screen first time in a replication match I repeated it at least 10 times after the match. It was just too good.

[@-disgoistingpeep-9388]

I have an idea for Sage's new animation Sage will be walking around and finds a wilted flower, she goes to pick it up and heals or revives the flower. Maybe after the animation is finished, She puts it in her hair ? while holding a orb.

[@ZyUlTra]

That's actually so cute and such a Sagebean thing😭😭🥺🥺

[@Xorgii]

for sage, it’ll be cool if it was your healing kinda idea but then she puts up a wall which covers the screen then the wall comes down and it goes back to the select screen we have now

[@raefellstarlocke272]

Harbor showing off his relic like some sort of Omnitrix.

[@syedshums]

I don't know about you guys, but when Yoru says "I'll fight anybody, I'll fight everybody", it gives me chills.... It's one of the main reasons I main Yoru, even prior to his Rework.

@@Kreyeostasis Ok thanks! I was fast-fowarding the video to a point where he says the next tier and the agents after, I guess I missed one lol.

[@RelicOnYoutube]

A pattern I’m noticing is that in the old lock screens they show a lot of the agents character rather than cinematic ‘wow’ factor. You can make the argument of Omen, Viper and Cypher’s not following this but they do. Omen’s showing his struggle to keep himself together through the quick teleport then how he surges despite simply standing. Cypher showing how mysterious he is through the introduction with the cage then his personality of remaining calm and collected and seemingly in control as he casually flips a coin trip around his fingers. Then Viper (As someone mentioned in the comments) the way she shows off her dangerous side by showing up first with her mask and vipers pit, but when the mask comes off you see her personality shine through the way she creeps up her hand to take off off her face mask then stares at you with a level of disgust and disinterest. Like you aren’t worth her time. Compare that to some of the newer lock screens like Fade and Harbor, what impression do you get of their characters without any insider information? A woman with dark powers then stands there playing with one of her abilities staring at you without any clear indiction of what shes thinking. Then a guy with a water bracelet just showing it off? They speak more to their abilities rather than their character. (You can say the same for older characters as well like Sage and Skye)

[@ruelandrew00]

I just realize that our POV in Reyna's agent select animation is a soul orb floating around. XD Also, I still love Phoenix's animation. It is kinda conflicting as he is seen with his personality as go getter and very impulsive. But, in the game, I think he should be played in a tactical/methodical way.

[@yourlocalcryptid6024]

I want Breach to have a new select screen SO BAD he's so cool and his abilities have so many opportunities to make a cool select screen I love him but PLS

[@DangStank]

All the C tiers feel like they would be one part of a whole A/S tier. Like Jett, her stopping suddenly and the wind following her feels like it would work well at the end of a longer animation

[@elijahrebancos7672]

Harbot technically got that Ben10 Animation

[@najmaht.a.1314]

my ocd can't take how harbor's avatar's head is the only one facing up instead of down like the others 😭

[@kctharich6836]

I totally expected Breech to like punch the ground causing the same effects as his ultimate to happen(this woulda made him look more awesome). And maybe after the punch, The camera would be woosy a bit then he'd hold it still with a slightly embarrassed smile, move back and then do the pose he already does. All that I've stated shows his character and promotes him more. 1.) Punching the ground to actually show his ability. 2.) Adjusting the camera with the smile to show his comedic side and 3.) The pose to show that he's ready for action.

[@nogai2296]

You should do a ranking for in game models because most of the human characters (fade and viper being great examples) look like nightmare fuel

[@baselin6514]

I think Brimstone is the only one who's introduction is alright to be that plain, his character was suppose to look like "just some old wanker soldier, what sort of threat he represent?" trope

[@LoneBeastYT]

For breach i wished he uses the rolling thunder, the camera shake intensifies as it goes towards the camera As the camera jumps from the ult, you get a flash where when the flash subsides you see breach checking his arm maintenance

[@HRfromJohn]

2:12 if you Insta lock astra, her lock VL and the screen almost line up

[@HRfromJohn]

@Text me on Telegram @Valorant_Curios no, kind of scammy

[@kyreestandifer522]

Ok for the Brimstone bit sure, but pay attention to color guard routines. It's close to a near standard position (it's either at ease or attention, but it's probably at ease) for Armsholder armsguard? I forget the technical term. Most definitely not the flashiest but it works. Really well actually. Mid toLow C tier for me tho in comparison to others. I dunno flashy isn't everything everything.

[@dymc_o]

I think if you wait a bit after selecting Neon her eyes will do a little glowing thing

[@Beingyun]

did anyone else notice the weird weird WEIRD images on harbor's cape?

[@scouttf2952]

[@diamondguy-xs4lg]

my favourite select screen animation would be chamber cuz I love how the crosshair is like directly on the centre of his eye like it's on the pupil, least favourite would be brimstone just cuz it's not the most creative, the only thing I like about it is the sound of brim putting one of his grenade ammo into his gun

[@corniun1115]

Hi! I'm a Harbor main. Thanks for fighting for my man hehe. I think his screen is okay but I came straight from playing Chamber.. that's a different vibe ngl xd

He would be placed in D tier (by himself) cuz of how he underestimated himself against kayo in the prev rankin

[@renaultluk6376]

I know Jeppy and a lot of the comments here ranks the select screens by sheer coolness, but I think in a user experience and game design perspective, a select screen that is too flashy and takes too long kind of impedes new players' ability to have a good look at the agents themselves. That's why I like Harbour's select screen, where the animation is still cool but lets the player see the agent, as opposed to something like Kay/o, where you have to wait through the whole animation to see what he looks like

[@vale.antoni]

You could make Sage contact juggle, moving her hands and arms around the orb, while it seems to be suspended in air. It would not be too different from this animation, and would totally check out lore-wise, and maybe it would look about 82% better

[@Crabs581]

i dont know if im looking into this too much, i probably am but in overwatch sombra is a character that can remove enemy abilities just like kayo (or kayo can do it just like sombra) and when sombra uses her ultimate she says turning out the lights in spanish and in the kayo select screen theres a bright light but when kayo powers up it all goes black, idk if this is a reference to sombra and im pretty sure im looking way too deep but i think it would be cool if it was.

[@niliev9675]

Idk like i agree w most(im a fade/kayo main so im happy yk) but theres one that i heavily disagree with and thats jett First shes one of the older agents(she was one of the original if i recall correctly please correct me if im wrong)but i kinda like how she dashes quickly in screen cus thats kinda what she does in game she picks up an op and shows on ur screen for a split second before dashing out I think she deserves A tier (personal opinion)

[@lesternacua8162]

Man's really think imma take this tier list seriously after he puts Raze's in B-TIER. The BEST agent select screen gets a B-tier? I'm not even a Raze main but hers has everything going for it. Your S-tiers like Yoru and especially Kay-O does nothing to show us their characters and personality. All it shows us is their abilities and powers. Raze's intro does EVERYTHING right. It shows us her kit (explosives expert), shows us her personality (which none of your S-tiers except for Chamber who has that signature look of superiority going for him) AND has a very lively idle animation afterwards. Phoenix's deserves higher too. It showcases his abilities AND his personality. Kay/O's is literally just a nightrave like bruh.
